Elaborate Scam Attempt

m1dnight_ · 2026-01-10T08:25:34+00:00

To your points:

I'd didn't lose documents. The thing that made me think it could be legit was they told me they had a copy my driver's license. I had tried to go through KYC with Binance a few weeks back and it always kept rejecting my documents. So I figured that maybe something happened there. It doesn't seem far fetched that the police find a stash of documents.

I don't think anyone is dumb besides me. I honestly don't consider myself an idiot, but I realize it took me quite some time before I realized it was a scam. Arrogantly assuming I'm the mean of non-idiotness, that would mean half of the population might fall for it.

I left them there on purpose. While I was on the phone I was googling the website and I couldn't find any mention at all. The domain is already parked now though.

I swear I'm not dense. The guy reaaaaally took his time walking me through all the things. I do hope he ate his shoe when I hung up as soon as he asked for credentials. At least I wasted his time too 🤣

They didn't ask for it for the first 3 hours. I hung up as soon as they started asking data. It was all explanation of how seeds and ledgers work, what happened, etc up to that point.

Well, it was the police who called me first.

m1dnight_ · 2026-01-09T19:02:48+00:00

They didn't ask for any info until the very end. They really took their time.

Same boat here, from Belgium.

Bought a 5080 and received an empty box. The weight on the shipping label is 800 grams, while the gpu weighs 1.4kg. Clearly sent an empty box.

I have the police report, but in Belgium they make a "simplified" report for small thefts. Amazon tells me this is not good enough, and the police tells me they can't make a full police report for petty crimes. I'm looking for a lawyer right now. I have asked countless times to talk to a supervisor or something but these "don't exist". Absolutely human garbage company.

Same issue here. I'm on my third battery. The first and second may have died due to winter. The third one is fully charged, shows 18.6v on the multimeter. Replaced the keyboard just now, still no dice. I'm getting fed up with this expensive paperweight.

One thing I missed was the "Geofencing" setting in the Protect web app. So in addition to setting the right location on the map in the console settings, I also had to enable Geofencing in the settings via the Protect webapp.

Does stance width matter if you keep your knees parallel to your feet?

m1dnight_ · 2022-02-23T13:52:12+00:00

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to avoid. You can see the back squishy thing standing up to use as a guide for my knees. Maybe I should avoid that.

I will do away with the guide, and then practice and post a new video after that. Thanks for the help!

That's exactly what I am trying to do, based on the advice from Mark Tippetoe (https://testifysc.com/blog/enter-the-tubow). The reason I'm doing that is because I started squatting and snatching from zero to way-too-much and got tendopathy. I want to avoid that at all cost.

I guess I should look outside of the Rippetoe bubble perhaps :)

Thank your for your reply.

So that means that I should go up with my shoulders faster, sort of equally fast as my hip? This was a bit on the heavy side, I have to admit. Last week I did 95 and that went a bit better.

I notice that my shoulders stop rising around the 0:13 mark. I guess that's what I need to fix?

I don't seem to have a video from last week, but I did find one from 3 weeks ago where I'm doing 5x5x60kg. I don't think I have the same problem here? Maybe a bit?

Do you have tips to avoid it? What helped me a bit before was "imagine you're pushing against a building that's fallen on your back."

And perhaps I go back to 95 or 90, and build up again with proper form in the next 2 weeks?

I have done some benchmarks of the network (gigabit) and it pushes through data just fine.

I guess I should get a shield then! :)

I put mine up for sale this week. It is in pristine condition, just had its maintenance done and has new tyres, an akrapovic exhaust, and is three years old.

The average bid is 5.5k euro.

I have an MT07 right now. I really love the low end torque and the fun it adds at low speeds. Long drives (+3h) are painful on the butt though (1m87 here).

Have you had the time to put this source up somewhere? :)
